SWorkz S14-3 Velocity 2.0 lightweight body shell

SWorkz have introduced their new Velocity 2.0 lightweight body shell for the S14-3 buggy. With the help of a new moulding technology the body is about 40 percent lighter compared to the standard shell, helping to lower the overall centre of gravity, improve corning in high-bite track conditions and also helping with acceleration. The body comes made of high-quality polycarbonate material and it includes a front tower wing, window masks and a sticker sheet.

1up Racing have announced the release of their new Tenfold ultra light touring car wing screws. Precision machined from highest quality U.S. 7075-T6 alloy, the pair comes in at only 0.6g.

Protoform introduce the Spec6

New from Protoform, the Spec6 is a fresh new take on the classic Speed6 body that captured the 2008 Worlds at the hands of Marc Rheinard. While modern 190mm touring car bodies have gone the way of low-slung, ultra high-downforce designs, there is still a need for the more traditional, rounder and mellow-handling bodies for spec classes or track layouts with large sweeping corners. The Spec6 provides an ultra-smooth, high-corner speed feel, especially crucial in lower-power classes with handout motors. The Spec6 has been brought up to 2019 standards with increased flat surface area behind each wheel opening to allow for more forward mounting. This is made easier with the added Mounting Marks scribed into each wheel opening in 2mm increments. Available in 2 weight options, X-lite (65g) and lightweight (85g).
